 D                         Asus4         D

 As I rowed ashore from my schooner close by

                          G             A    Asus4 

 a girl on the beach sure I chanced to espy

 D                          G          A

 her hair it was red and her bonnet was blue

 D           G            A         D

 her place of abode was in Harbour Lecou



Oh boldly I asked her to walk on the sand

she smiled like an angel and held out her hand

so I buttoned me guernsey and hove way me chew

in the dark rolling waters of Harbour Lecou



Bm A X1



My ship she lay anchored far out on the tide

as I strode along with that maid at my side

I told her I loved her I said I'll be true

and I winked at the moon over Harbour Lecou



Bm A| X4



As we walked on the sands at the close of the day

I thought of my wife who was home in Torbay

I knew that she'd kill me if she only knew

I was courting this lassie in Harbour Lecou



As we passed a log cabin that stood on the shore

I met an old comrade I'd sailed with before

he treated me kindly, saying jack how are you?

Its seldom I see you in Harbour Lecou



Bm A| X1 



And as I was parting this maiden in tow

he broke up my party with one single blow

he said regards to your missus and your wee kiddies too

I remember her well she's from Harbour Lecou



 |C G|D A|C G|A Asus4| X2



I looked at this damsel a standin' 'long side

her jaw it just dropped and her mouth opened wide

and then like she-cat upon me she flew

and I fled from the furies of Harbour Lecou



Bm A X4



So come all ye young sailors who walk on the shore

beware of old comrades you sailed with before

beware of the maidens with the bonnets of blue

and the pretty young damsels of Harbour Lecou.

And the pretty young damsels of Harbour Lecou.
